The VIP club have been blessed with being visited by Hamish the therapet dog. Each group has had two relaxing sessions with Hamish, learning how to touch and interact with a dog in a safe way. The amazing patience of Hamish brought calmness to the children.
Thank you to Anne for bringing Hamish along to meet our VIPs.

🌳 A Reminder About "Forests for All" 🌳
🌳This group is open to any child who needs additional support in an outdoor setting.
🌳 This is a very broad category, and you absolutely do not need a formal diagnosis for your child to join us.

Who is this for?
🌈Children with diagnosed needs like ADHD, Autism, or Down Syndrome.
🌈Children who may have undiagnosed developmental delays including learning difficulties
🌈 Children learning English as a Second Language (EAL).
🌈 Children who experience anxiety about social interactions or joining outdoor groups
🌈Or any diagnosis that impacts development

💚Essentially, if you feel your child could benefit from a supportive, inclusive outdoor environment, they are welcome.
💚While we welcome families from across the city and further afield, our current funding is specifically allocated to the South East of Edinburgh (specifically the EH16/EH17 postcode areas).
💚If you live outside of this impact area, we kindly ask for a donation, this supports our work with schools and local community events.
💚This session runs thanks to the support Thrive Outdoors and in collaboration with the The Very Inclusive Play Club & Bridgend Farmhouse
💚If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

🛖Please note as the weather gets cooler and wetter we have an amazing indoor Eco Bothy which we can use if needed!

🌈At the VIP club we teach skills that can be used anywhere by the children and families, skills to help the children be safe.
❤️The VIPs love our ' ready, steady, go...' games. Learning to listen, sign, to wait, to say 'go', we all run up the bothy and we use a stop sign to support them to learn when to stop ✋️.
🌈Its great fun, look how focused all the children are.
❤️We're so very proud of all the VIP's!

🌈 We welcomed our VIPs back yesterday to our weekly sessions, it was so lovely to see how happy they were to be back!

💜 We celebrated our return with sensory play, big balls, parachute play and some relaxing musical instruments.

🌈 We use gentle teaching approaches to support each child's development.

🌞 Classes are kept small, so they're manageable for each child.

❤️ We are a community, a family that learn together.

🥳 Each child is celebrated for who they are!

🌈If you have a child who has a suspected additional support need and feel isolated and lost of how to support their development, we would love for you to be part of our community.

🙏Please do get in touch with Leanne at thevipclub17@gmail.com.

Everyone please share this post so we can reach more families who would benefit from being part of our community!
